Created attachment 114951 [details, diff]
Patch for /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Net/IP.pm

This patch changes the /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Net/IP.pm library so that iptab works again. I have supplied the patch to the vendor, the problem occurs when the .size() function is called on the ip 0.0.0.0 which occurs in the iptab script.

Did you see RT 20265? ( http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20265 ) No offense intended, but I think the patch here is cleaner. Can you confirm that this alternate patch works against iptab's problem?

[Comment 3 deanx 2007-03-30 16:42:11 UTC]

No offense taken, when I first found I had this problem I didn't know the root cause so this was the only link I found describing my problem. When I had solved the problem I didn't bother to look for a patch for that so didn't see find the RT you meantioned.

I can confirm that this alternative patch does the same as mine only more elegantly.

patched, bumped, enjoy
